Ajith’s
Absence
At
SPB’s
Funeral
Unfortunately,
several
other
actors
were
questioned
for
their
absence
at
the
funeral,
especially
Thala
Ajith,
who
is
a
close
friend
of
SP
Charan
and
has
been
associated
with
the
family
for
many
years.
A
lot
of
netizens
quizzed
the
actor
as
to
why
he
wasn't
present
at
the
time
when
his
friend
needed
him
the
most.
SP
Charan
Reacts
To
Ajith’s
Absence
At
SPB’s
Funeral
Well
now,
SP
Charan
has
backed
Ajith
as
he
responded
to
the
same
during
a
recent
media
interaction.
He
said,
"Why
should
I
respond
to
such
comments?
Ajith
is
a
friend
of
mine.
He
was
friendly
with
my
dad
too.
If
Ajith
is
grieving,
he
must
be
grieving
at
home.
How
does
it
matter
if
he
comes
in
person
or
not?
How
does
it
matter
if
he
has
spoken
to
me
or
not?
Why
do
you
even
want
to
turn
his
absence
at
dad's
funeral
an
issue?
This
is
not
even
an
issue
at
the
moment.
I
lost
my
dad.
The
world
lost
SPB.
We
all
need
some
time
to
grieve
and
get
back
on
our
feet.
Please
allow
us
to
do
that."
Did
Sumanth
Raman
Take
A
Jibe
At
Ajith?
It
is
to
be
noted
that
TV
anchor
Sumanth
Raman
had
tweeted,
"When
those
benefited
a
lot
more
from
#SPB
songs
than
Actor
Vijay
chose
to
stay
away,
this
was
a
heartwarming
gesture
by
Vijay.
Respect
indeed",
which
apparently
didn't
go
down
well
with
Ajith
fans
who
slammed
Sumanth
for
his
tweet.
Later,
he
clarified
that
his
tweet
was
not
mean
for
specific
people
as
he
wrote,
"There
is
no
disrespect
meant
to
anyone.
It
is
their
choice
to
go
or
not
especially
with
Covid
around.
I
am
just
pointing
out
a
fact.
But
why
are
only
fans
of
one
particular
star
getting
agitated
and
abusive??
So
many
didn't
go."
